Description:
Previously, there was a swamp on the site of the park, now it is a well-groomed attractive park, in which more than 7 thousand trees grow, a system of canals was arranged and an artificial lake was created.
Great changes occurred in the early 19th century, when he began to drain the swamps and import seedlings of trees, which included rare and exotic. This marked the beginning of the emergence of a botanical park on this site.
Its founder is considered gardener Henrik Nebbin, who by order of Emperor Franz Joseph I began landscape work here.
The park is the only botanical garden in Europe for the blind, who can familiarize themselves with the names of plants from special tablets located throughout the garden.
Ignaz Alpar made the park popular, its feature was the combination of 21 fragments of various buildings (palaces, castles, cathedrals) built in different styles and at different times. The main condition was that all of them, one way or another, played a role in the formation of the Hungarian state.
